Launched in January 2018, the aim of the Nature Sustainability journal is to facilitate important cross-disciplinary dialogue around sustainability and narrow the gap between research and policy making to ensure the real-world impact of research.

Nature Sustainability is edited by Monica Contestabile, an environmental economist with previous experience as Senior Editor at Nature Climate Change and at WWF-UK, where she led research on sustainable consumption. Monica will be visiting Melbourne on the 17th of July to talk about this new title, the aims and scope of the journal, and publication guidelines.

In addition to advice from Monica, the following panel of sustainability researchers and policy-makers will highlight Australian success stories from the interface of policy and research.
